General econometric questions and advice should go in the econometric discussions forum. Fixed effects estimation will take use only certain variation, so it depends on your model whether you want to make estimates based on less variation or not. Eviews by quantitative micro software, also known as econometric views, is a statistical tool for timeseries oriented econometric analysis. This page shows how to run regressions with fixed effect or clustered standard errors, or famamacbeth regressions in sas. Your intuition is correct, but as usual the devil is in the details.

Tests of fixed effects table for fit mixed effects model. Twoway fixed effects estimates can be obtained by running ols with crosssectional and time dummies. Random effect, fixed effect, hausman test, eviews program. You should be aware that when you select a fixed or random effects specification, eviews will automatically add a constant to the common coefficients portion of the specification if necessary, to ensure that the effects sum to zero.
